Default Killing the automatic headlights...?

this feature probably bothers me the most. is there a fuse or wire i can cut out?

will this effect having an hid kit being turned on and off again?

There on for a reason when the truck is in motion. When your in park, just apply the E-Brake, the running lights will go out.

It may be? but 99% of cars out there work with the eBrake trick.

My DRLs come on as soon as I turn the key on, even with the parking brake applied. 2007 Tahoe

There should be a fuse or relay in the fuse block...I removed mine on the GTO, took care of the DRLs...haven't felt the need to do it on the Tahoe, but I am sure you will find a relay with the initials DRL or likewise in there if you look...maybe someone on here has the wiring schematic and can tell you which one to pull?

I remember seeing on this forum or the other one that fuses #30 & #32 are the ones to pull. Haven't tried it myself.

After you start the car, grab the light **** and turn it all the way to the left and let go. It will spring back into the regular spot, but your lights will be off. This is how you can turn the lights off during the day, without having the e-break on.

i want the lights off completely without having to do anything after starting the car. i know that you can turn the **** before starting the car to kill the lights. having to turn them off every single time is jus annoying.
the e-brake thing didnt work.

turning them off after starting the car is a no brainer.

but i shur would love to tweaka wire that would be ableto have them on and off whenever i feel like it.
